Trees (Branches)

(Part One)

Why did it always have to happen?
They never stood a chance
When it fell
Took everything down

What did the road have to do after it all?
After you know
When it withered too much

Now I see it every time I pass by
The remains of a tree
I didn't know it would happen
You know, I thought it was something else
I thought it was something caused by a car accident
But instead, it was a tree
How couldn’t it be (?)

(Part Two)

And I told people it was an accident
But man, was I wrong
My second assumption was that someone had crashed into a tree
Knocking it down on the power wires

But eventually, I caught on
What it really was and what had really happened
It was a tree branch that had withered away
And knocked down the power wires
And it was weeks ago
At least a month ago it happened

(Part Three)

It came out of nowhere
I woke up to Allan yelling
Dogs were barking
I see the lights outside at four A.M
Wondering what the hell was going on

So I took pictures of the lights
Sent them to the people I work with
I didn't know what was going on then

I don't think I would have had an assumption when I had woken up(?)
I knew the power was out
There were no clocks on

(Part Four)

I mean, we worked fine without the power
Didn’t know though what happened
I only realized when I went to walk to a friend's house
That it was a tree that had fell
No reason for me to think of a crash
It wasn't nobody's fault
The tree has withered

And there have been multiple storms going on
Like thunderstorms and rain
Back then you'd be surprised what we had gotten before

You know this is a recurring theme
But it will never go away
And out of everything that you wanted to see
I'm not going to answer it just to a no

So while I don't need to say it at all
The latest story is over with anyway
